Play Army Men Advance (U)(Eurasia) Online

Army Men Advance came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2001, developed by Digital Eclipse and published by The 3DO Company. It was part of that early wave of GBA titles that tried to bring familiar console concepts into a portable format, trading graphical detail for pick-up-and-play convenience. The game takes the Army Men series into a handheld, mission-based structure, built around small squads of plastic soldiers in a household war.

You control Sarge, leading a team of green army men through various rooms like the kitchen or backyard, viewed from an overhead perspective. The main goal is to complete objectives such as rescuing prisoners or destroying tan army installations, often while navigating hazards like pencil traps or avoiding giant household objects. Signature mechanics include switching between different soldier types (like scouts or bazooka troops) to use their unique weapons, and employing stealth by hiding in shadows to avoid alerting enemies. The pacing is methodical, with careful movement often more effective than rushing in, and the difficulty can spike during enemy-heavy sections. It feels like directing a small, tactical operation where every shot and step matters.
